All our gift memberships come in a beautiful, limited edition gift box designed by Vanessa Jackson RA.

Each pack has everything you’ll need to get started, including a welcome card with space to personalise your message, a membership card, welcome brochure explaining all the benefits, a handy what’s on guide for Friends and a limited edition postcard.* Learn more about the benefits of RA membership below.
*Please note, packs can take up to 14 days to deliver. There may be delays and disruptions to delivery services that fall outside of our control. For any questions about your order, contact the Friends team.

By sharing a Friends membership, you’ll not only give the gift of unlimited access to unmissable art – crucially, you’ll help ensure the RA remains a place for art and art-lovers for many years to come.

Like so many other arts organisations, we have been hit hard by the coronavirus crisis. However, unlike most of our peers, we do not receive revenue funding from the Government. We’re run by artists and funded by art-lovers and are incredibly fortunate to have a loyal community of Friends who have been our life-blood during this time. In the face of all this uncertainty we’re relying on our supporters more than ever.

Your support will allow us to continue our work – from developing the next generation of practising artists in the RA Schools, to researching and caring for our Collection, and realising our world-class programme of exhibitions. Thank you.
